Many times it is easier to live out a metaphor for our highest and best self ~ that's what goddess is to many of us. **Edit add: This is still US, our being, our essence. Goddess is just a feel good word for YOU!"

This post is inspired by this story ~ last week I ended a client call with an angel card reading that was so beautiful, I left the cards spread out in my workspace.

Later that day, my husband, who I used to believe would think I was a quack for doing card readings, saw my spread and felt this tug to pull cards because he was struggling with a decision. All without me knowing, he did his own card reading and then later in the day, brought me up to show to me and tell me what the cards meant to him.

She is this magical being who has no ego, who may not even know how her beautiful energy radiates out into the world. It's like a rainbow of light and draws people in captivating them, and above all else, is vibrating at the frequency of love.

This moment is so crystal clear in my memory mind. We were hiking back from a moment that filled me with anxiety, Annagrace was wanting to climb on every rock, and we were at the back of the pack and I could no longer hear my son ahead with his friends. I felt my irritation stirring. Nothing needed to be said, nothing had to happen but life. Annagrace dropped my hand, looked me in the eyes, and then reached out for this mama's hand.

If I could encapsulate all the ways I connect with goddess energy when I’m around Lauren, it’d have to be summarized like this. Lauren loves children like she loves nature. She is gentle, kind, nurturing, and doesn’t mind the thorns. She see beauty in all of it - the planting, the nourishing, the witnessing of growth, the weeding, and the bounty that comes from tending with love and gentleness.
